Tue, 02 Apr 2019 Mark Crocker Alumni Experiences The Impact of Positive Motivation on an ESL Classroom Student motivation is very important when it comes to being a successful teacher. As teachers, our results are highly dependent on what we are able to teach our students and students are far more likely to succeed if they are motivated. Student motivation also far exceeds the bounds of just learning English and extends into the other subjects they study and even their daily lives.

Mon, 26 Aug 2019 Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas How Do Multiple Intelligences Influence Pedagogy? Traditionally, intelligence has been regarded as a unitary quantity.

English Grammar Overview - Parts of Speech - Overview   And now it's time to have a look at our first grammar unit. Grammar in its widest sense is the structure of a language. We as speakers of the language can structure our language without a problem. However, as teachers of the language we need to be able to better analyze the grammar and the grammar that exists within statements that we make. These basic parts of grammar are called parts of speech. Each part of speech has a certain function within a sentence. Our example sentence here is "My older brother lives in Tokyo." Each one of these words is a certain part of speech, which we'll have a look at in just a minute but let's just think about the words within this particular sentence. We have ?my?, indicating whose brother it...  [Read more]

English Grammar Overview - Parts of Speech - Prepositions   Moving further down our list of the parts of speech, we have our prepositions.

If I said, "I work at eight o'clock," I'm sharing a relationship between the time "eight o'clock" to the rest of the sentence. We have our prepositions of place: in, at, on, under, in between. If I said, "The book is under the table," I'm showing a relationship between the table and the rest of the sentence. Then, we have our prepositions of movement. These show...  [Read more]
